A new running partner

Before I started running I remember going to 5k's that my wife used to run. I always thought it was great. She was so proud of herself. We then had kids and she lost the passion for running. Well it seems to have returned. She is running two to three days a week and is scheduling a 5k run. She has more hopes. I see such a change in her confidence. I am proud of her for her motivation.

Boston bound

Not me. Anyone who knows me knows this. I am a waddler as the penquin would say.
Our close friend is heading to Boston for the marathon. She will be in the second wave of runners and we just know that she will do great. I feel bad that I have not been able to train with her for the run. I always enjoyed training with someone. That is even though by mile 4 or 5 she would leave me because she is lighting fast.
Hopefully in the fall. I have also considered joining the runner plus running team.
You get some benefits and memberships into the ORRRC. I believe you also get training from like 5 or 6 people. Plus 2 or 3 scheduled runs a week. This would be a great time. I like the idea of running with people even though I don't want to talk to anyone. While running that is. I breath hard and I usually run at a point where talking is a pain.

Beginning of April update

Well it has been a crazy month. I just finished my 12 mile run and have been working my bike rides in during the week. I hope I am getting stronger. Our family is getting excited about the Flying pig weekend. My son is running the kids marathon and my daughter is running the piglet run. My son has run 20 miles so far and has three weeks to finish 5 more miles. I am so proud of them.
I am struggling if I want to run a half marathon or a whole in the fall. I guess the year will just have to fall into place. I will try not to stress about it.

Later.
